  • O'neil Turns 100, but His Story Cannot Be Forgotten
    O'Neil Turns 100, but His Story Cannot Be Forgotten By Paul Ladewski KANSAS CITY – Buck O'Neil turned 100 years old last weekend, and the birthday celebration staged by the Negro League Museum was just the way he would have wanted it. There were so many good baseball stories that even the statues had to listen, enough smiles to light up the room for days at a time. And every so often, there was talk about what might have been. O'Neil was never afforded the opportunity to play in the major leagues, but as their first African-American coach, he was in position to break another barrier, that of the first black manager. If the Cubs had asked O'Neil to assume the reins as part of their so-called College of Coaches five decades ago, how well would he have done? And what if any effect would he have had on baseball history? “Buck had everything you would want in a manager,” said ex-Cubs outfielder Joe Carter, whom O'Neil scouted and signed to his first professional contract. “He knew the game and had an eye for talent. He was a great teacher and loved to be around people. Not only would he tell where you needed to improve, but he did it in a way that made you want to do it. He had a way to get the most out of you.” Former Cubs outfielder George Altman witnessed what O'Neil was capable of first hand. He played briefly under O'Neil with the Kansas City Monarchs on his way to the big leagues.
